I’ve seen that in so many TV shows. It’s like when they put the characters in a car the entire crew enters a foreign land where everything is beyond their grasp. People forget what gearshifts are, how steering works, where somebody looks while driving, it’s just stupid.

Nevermind that you can slip the hell of out that clutch. I’ve had shift linkage literally fall off my car while I was driving it. Got it home in third gear, stoplights included. The clutch won’t like you, but even a puck clutch will act like a torque convertor if you make it.

Well, yeah

Gotta love when movies insert a dramatic moment when the driver shifts fucking gears to go faster, like they’d forgotten about that before. “I’d only been going 3/4 as fast, but now that we’re actually racing in the final lap, I’m going to use 4th gear too.”

Never seen the “laded” version of laden before. Should have gone all the way with “ladled”.

Holy shit

Yeah, same here, as in “Coming up in Canadian football, it’s the Roughriders vs. the Roughriders.”

Personally I think there should be another Chanticleers.

Oh my God that black Mini was going like 5mph and still managed to overcook that curve, then tried to escape the shame about two gears too high.

Agreed.

#RIPDiesel, brave French superdog.

What are you suggesting, that Smirnoff won a blind taste test and later on said “fuck this recipe, let’s make it taste like shit”?

Hard not to. I’m pretty sure somebody’s dove off that thing at some point.

You mean like this?

Holy crap that’s like a caricature they created just to joke about it.

...ironically created in pursuit of making a nicer looking engine bay.

I would love to see a commercial with somebody drinking coffee at a cafe asking that question, just to show how absurd adspeak sounds when said out loud by a real person.

“Not to mention the many dudes who pack their jeans to make their package look bigger.”

It’s an exhaust grille so the bugs coming out of the exhaust don’t get sucked into the atmosphere.

You’re gonna have to explain that a bit more for people who don’t have boobs.
